Ouch. The price of wheat (flour) really did double. It's $34 for a 50-lb. bag now, instead of $17.
Ouch, ouch, ouch.
I really didn't need to buy another 50lb bag yet, so I didn't, but I can't see that it will get any better. Luckily, I did find a bag of unbleached bread flour with the old price on it, so I did get some. But ouch.
How hard would it be really to grow my own wheat for flour, I wonder? It would sure be cheaper in the long run. Hmm.

Maybe I'll experiment more next year. I did buy some wheat berries to try and see if they are sproutable. I may plant a test section. We'll see.
